Gov. DeSantis declares a state of emergency in 35 FL counties ahead of potential landfall of now TS Milton.
As Tropical Storm Milton continues to strengthen in the Gulf, I have issued EO 24-214 ahead of potential landfall on Florida’s west coast this week. This EO declares a state of emergency in 35 Florida counties. As many continue to recover from Hurricane Helene, I have directed @FLSERT and @MyFDOT to coordinate all available personnel and resources to supplement local communities as they expedite debris removal in impacted areas. We will continue staging state assets to prepare for efficient search and rescue, power restoration, and roadway clearing. flgov.com/wp-content/uploads…
